He floods every part of his life with pregnant description. The flow does not stop even when his father, in a post-accident moment of rage, sticks a gun in the Son's mouth. The only things immune to his touch are the names of the players themselves: the whole time it is only Son, Father, Mother and Daughter. Family members are the rocks upon which the Son's fragile shell...
